EUR/USD Today's Targets and Technical analysis ^{2012-05-18 (Asia Time 6:14 am)}

Overview:Euro is trying to recover despite ongoing crisis in Europe due to Greek and French elections. The resistance for EUR/USD is at 1.2757, if this level is achieved the next resistance will be at 1.2814. Next support level is 1.2650 and 1.2621. My advice is still not to sell, until recovery is achieved.

Recommendations: If you are in sell-positions, you can close them between the 1.2681 level and 1.2663; the same range is suitable for the short-term buying as well.
If you are in buy-positions, then the suitable level range will be from 1.2757 to 1.2778 the same range is suitable for the near-term selling as well.

Warning: Analysis and technical levels are provided only for the educational and informative purposes. Please check also the fundamental analysis before opening every single position. Keep yourself away from the market, if the market is volatile. Always try to open positions with good price level. Remember Forex is like fishing, not like hunting.

Money Management Warning: Never puto to risk more than 2 or 3% of your equity in a trade:
For example, 2% of 1,000 USD is 20$ and if your stop is 50 pips, then your lot size will be calculated as 20$/50 = 0.4 of insta lot which means it will be about 40 cents and similarly if your stop level is 100 pips than lot size will be calculated as follow 20$/100 = 0.2 Insta lots it will be about 20 cents.

  GTO Bonus Structure For New Traders:
Introduction - Special Offers, Benefits & Bonuses

A trading bonus is an added value that matches your deposit in your Gtoptions Trading Account and it provides you with more funds to use when you are trading.

Trading bonuses come in many forms; there are consistent deposit matches which means that your account will be given an added value when you deposit funds over and over again; and it also comes in the form of a one-time added value on your first deposit.

Gtoptions offers these bonus funds. When you fund your account, Gtoptions matches your first real money deposit by a certain amount of percentage in accordance to your first deposit; for example:

If GToptions offers you a 50% deposit match of up to $10,000; it means that if you open a new real trading account and make a first deposit of $2,000, Gtoptions will instantly fund your account with an additional $1000 that will go straight to your trading balance allowing you to trade with $3000 instead of the $2000 you initially deposited.

A trading bonus gives you great value and extra trading leverage.

With all of the above being mentioned; when you trade with bonus leverage you need to be cautious. It is truly appealing to trade with $15,000 when you actually made a deposit of only $10,000, but there is a downside. You may close higher trades and make more money initially (or in the long run), but you can also lose a lot more money. Option trading can be risky and you need to trade with confidence and responsibility to avoid losses.
